Eastern Front - Leningrad
It's slow going for the Nazis here. Considering the city will likely fall soon, that's not an insignificant achievement for the Soviets. Delaying the inevitable has value in a game like this. Ken needs to reach certain goals quickly to trigger events that hurt me, like dropping supply and replacements. And if he can take Leningrad, that will free up a big chunk of his forces to go on the offensive elsewhere. I'm still thin in most sectors along the Eastern Front, so any large push by the Axis could reap them benefits quickly. It appears Ken has moved a large contingent of mechanized and panzer units to the Leningrad sector. I'm not sure if this is to finish off this operation, or to help lead a new offensive right after they capture the city. The attackers are very tired and low on supply, and could use a rest, so my money is on relief and renewal of the assault.
Everywhere else
Nothing is happening worth mentioning. The Axis in North Africa are still on mop up duty around Tobruk, while the strongest Nazi divisions moving toward Egypt are very tired and low on supply. It looks like I'll make it until turn 8, when the 2nd New Zealand and 9th Australian divisions arrive in Suez. As a precaution, I'm going to transport US forces to Egypt, the 1st Armored and 34th Infantry divisions. It's completely ahistorical, but I can't risk the Axis breaking through there.
